Hrm, does it merge the queue? So imagine the following gets put in the queue [0,0] - [100,100] [100,0] - [200,10] [0,0] - [200,10] Would that code try and merge those three queue entries? Because by adding the queue, you basically get rid of the automatic merging we get from the lazy dirty bitmap fetching. Before we were processing each entry and checked the bitmap again, seeing a merged bitmap of previous actions. With this I assume you push to-be-updated regions into the queue and mark them as processed before they are? Or does the processed marking still happen in the worker? Wouldn't that be racy? Hrm.
